Question on the imon lcd/vfd in RC2 on Vista ultimate with all updates installed.

The display works fine until start a movie, watch TV etc.

This is what the error log has to say:

2008-08-06 19:57:33.552188 [ERROR][UpdateIconThread]: MediaPortal: Unhandled exception occured

I have som problem with power button operation.

When I just use the IMON driver the power button of my remote switches the PC to standby.
When I have this driver installed this does not function anymore

I can see the IMON capures still the powerbutton. The Imon Icon on screen shows the power message\\\

Any Clue?

Try the CybrDisplay plugin, that worked like a charm for me even without iMON installed.

I have the CybrDisplay plugin installed. ANd I like it a lot
That causes the power button to fail
Without the CybrDisplay plugin it works OK

Try uninstalling iMON .... for me it works flawless without iMON installed.

Hi Sander,

I tried stopping IMON and then there is no response at al on the remote.
Are you sure Cyberdisplay can handle te remote codes rom the antec receiver itself?

also in the cybermon advanced setup there are 3 checkboxes that must be checked to make sure the Imon driver is running.
Im am getting quite puzzeld

i have a imon Ultra bay and never had this power button issue.Inside the attached archive i've put my settings screenshots.

 

[mrbert]

As far As I can see I tried the same settings

and for the advanced settings I have

And I tried already the monitor power events.

Please tick "extensive logging" in the first screen and post the MP log file. You want to delete the log first before you launch MP and try the shutdown.

Regards, Johannes

Hi sourserer,

I tried to cature the log file.
It is quite large in a few seconds.
I had MP running and I only pressed the Power key on the remote.

I attached te log.

I hope this will help
